Temptation's Endurance

 

Ayana the Younger sat on bluff overlooking the ocean and she was a mess. Nanami was lying near her on a hammock made of her silk. Her baby sister was recovering but she was still in tremendous amounts of pain. She kept a supply of widow venom and Ayana had never seen her sister succumb to pain. The younger sister slept and the elder just sat looking after her. She heard very soft footsteps and she looked over her shoulder. Haji was there and he stared at his lover. He knew their actions were sinful but he was mad for her. She held out her hand and he took it. He sat beside her and looked over at the sleeping woman on the hammock.

 

“She is my younger sister. She was in a battle and she is in terrible pain.” Ayana explained.

 

“I have heard rumors that she is an incredible healer.” Haji murmured.

 

“Hai. She is awesome. She is also really young.” She stated softly.

 

“She is very beautiful. As beautiful as her elder sister.” He said leaning forward and kissing her mouth.

 

She kissed him back and she really loved him. Ayana crawled into his lap and pressed him back as she kissed him with tremendous passion. Nanami woke up and saw her sister making out with a gorgeous male funnel. She grunted and Ayana looked up.

 

“Yeah, yeah I will get out of here. You two look ready to move onto fellatio and then perhaps intercourse.” Nanami said stumbling up.

 

Ayana turned red and Haji also looked embarrassed.

 

“She is blunt like that.” She whispered.

 

“I can hear you! You know we do have inu hearing and smell. Sheesh. Get a web you lucky bitch.” Her bitchy little sister griped.

 

Haji looked at Nanami and then at Ayana with a small smile on his face. She was concerned as she watched her sister stumble away.

 

“She really is bad off. That bitch injected her shoki directly into her spine. She has been waking up screaming.” Ayana said climbing off of Haji.

 

“Go and take care of your sister. I am around in the Southern nests.” He stated.

 

Haji opened her kimono and breathed in her scent as he wrapped his lips around her tit. She groaned loudly as he suckled her lightly. He let her go and he stood up. She closed her kimono and he pressed his fingers to her lips. She lightly kissed the fingers and he closed his eyes. She stood up and followed after her sister.

 

“I wish you would let me in.” Haji said to no one.

 

He was willing to destroy his life for her and she was slowly backing away from him. He was getting insanely jealous and it was not a good thing in his mind. He stared at the sky and he knew it was his fault. She had tried to stop him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The pain was unreal and Nanami actually went to her bag from the future era with shaking hands and took out Fentanyl. She hated to use such a powerful drug but she was still hurting. She tried not to complain but it got to her. Ayana walked in just as she was injecting herself.

 

“What are you doing?” She demanded.

 

“Giving myself relief sister.” She said with trembling lips.

 

“Nami? Is it that bad? You should go home!” She cried.

 

“Hai it is that bad and no, I cannot go home yet. I have patients here right now and hopefully with time my nerves will regenerate.” Nanami stated as she stood slowly.

 

“If your Chichi knew what was in that syringe he would insist you go!” Ayana snapped.

 

“I am a big girl Yana. I know I am still your baby sister but Nanami is all grown up. I have had two kids of my own now.” She pointed out.

 

“I cannot help it Nami. Damnit you went loony tunes after Tomoharu died and then the whole empusae thing.” Her sister pointed out.

 

“If I may point out you went a little nuts too when Yasunari died and then Maki. So do not talk to me about loony tunes!” Nanami growled.

 

“Well okay I did. I loved Yasunari passionately.” She said looking away.

 

“And Maki.” Her sister snapped.

 

“Hai I did. It helped that I had been a whore and Chikara was there. I went and spied on him by the way. It took everything in me not to attack him.” She said growling very softly.

 

“You feel your mating?” Her doctor sibling inquired.

 

“Hai. I go and watch him. He strips down to just his hakama in the morning hours and does his training. Oh Kamis he is about the sexiest thing the Kamis ever made.” Ayana sighed.

 

“Oh now you have me intrigued. I want to see this infamous tattoo.” She grinned.

 

“Okay.” She grinned back.

 

It got her mind off of her pain and she looked forward to seeing the really beautiful tarantula lord.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////

They were masked heavily and they had snuck through the thick forests of the central Korean peninsula. The sisters were intent upon seeing the Earth Tiger lord and they were pathing. They came upon his castle and Ayana dragged her to the back where Chikara trained. Nanami caught sight of him and his long brown hair was down. He wore white hakama and the rose tattoo was prominent on his chest. His body was absolute perfection down to his washboard belly to his perfect pectoral muscles. Ayana hit her sister on the shoulder and she was speechless.

 

“Oh my kamis! I would not have guessed he looked THAT good.” Nanami said in awe.

 

“Hai. He is also so and dear Kamis it is hot.” Ayana stated fanning herself.

 

“Yana loves him. Yana wants to marry him. Yana wants to have his babies.” Her younger sister teased her mercilessly.

 

“Hai! He is something. To think he is so reserved.” Nanami shook her head.

 

“Who are you?” Both onna heard near them.

 

Ayana had to stop herself from growling because she recognized the voice of Riki. She turned and stared up at him and he stared back at her.

 

“We are both kumo onna asshole.” She snapped.

 

“Sister!” Her sister said grabbing her arm.

 

“Sisters huh? Well this is Earth Tiger lands and you can leave.” He said growling.

 

“Blow it out your ass tarantula.” Ayana growled.

 

“Pardon me? What are you?” Riki asked arrogantly.

 

“Funnel web little princess.” She mocked him.

 

“Pardon my sister. She has a bad attitude and obviously has not hunted in awhile. We were just leaving.” Nanami stated.

 

“Riki, what is going on?” Chikara called coming through the vegetation.

 

Ayana's chest heaved rapidly and she looked back at Chikara. He blinked his warm brown eyes at her and she was suppressing all manner of hormones. Nanami suddenly grabbed her and her face crumpled in pain. She went down and she was groaning in agony.

 

“Nami!” Ayana yelped as she knelt by her sister.

 

“Yana! Go to my bag. Get it and bring here.” She whispered as her face twisted in pain.

 

“What is wrong?” She asked terrified.

 

“Spinal stenosis. Oh Kamis! Shit! Please Ayana.” She begged her elder sister.

 

Ayana stood and looked at them. Her eyes begged them to help her and she ported out via her shoki. Nanami twisted on the ground in pain and she had forgotten to take her pain medicine.

 

“Can we help you?” Chikara asked kneeling.

 

“Kill me. Kamis I wish she had killed me.” She said beginning to sob.

 

Riki could see the onna was in horrible pain and he took a deep breath. He picked her up and she screamed as he carried her back to the castle. Ayana ported back and saw them walking carefully. She ran after them and they laid her on a futon in a front room. Her sister fumbled with the vial and syringe and Nanami told her what to do. Ayana finally plunged the needle into her neck itself and she passed out. She put the things back and she sat back. She did not care what she said; she had to take Nanami back. Whatever the Shouten bitch had done to her, it was tearing her apart.

 

“Who are you?” Chikara asked softly.

 

“My name is Ayana. I was named after the former queen. This is my baby sister Nanami. She is a healer.” She explained.

 

“The healer in need of healing? Has she seen Nobu?” The tarantula lord asked.

 

“Nobu is her father.” Ayana stated bluntly.

 

“Oh! I had not heard that he mated.” He said meeting her eyes.

 

“It is not widely known. Kamis she had me give her a huge dose of Fentanyl.” She said upset.

 

“What is that?” He asked.

 

“Powerful medicine. Damnit. Wait! Wait a minute! Hatham! I can get Hatham!” She said realizing what she should have.

 

“Who is that?” Chikara asked with a small smile at her enthusiasm.

 

“Someone I know well. Can she stay here? I will return soon!” Ayana said jumping up.

 

“Hai she may stay here.” He nodded.

 

“Thank you my lord.” She said throwing her arms around him and he stiffened.

 

Chikara got a good, deep scent of her and it startled him. She ported away and Riki was bristling.

 

“Odd onna.” He remarked.

 

“Hai.” He agreed.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was surprised she had not heard from her Shouten mate but then Hatham had a tendency to ignore a lot. He liked his work. He liked to study things. He liked passion and he frankly liked sex but he was very much into being a scientist. She had a Jing port her into Hueco Mundo and she was going to sneak into Astana. She was careful and she knew where Neral and his rooms were. Hell she knew them better then they knew themselves some days. She found Hatham hunched over his bed with his hands on his head.

 

“Oh Kamis! Are you okay?” She asked concerned.

 

He jumped and his black hair was down at the moment. His light grey eyes looked her over and he was astonished.

 

“You are not Shouten.” He stated confused.

 

“No, I am not. Are you okay?” Ayana demanded as she neared him.

 

He tried to back away but she pressed her hands to his face. He made a noise and then stared at her in shock.

 

“I have been in pain. I have had no clue why. You show up and now it is gone. Neral has been out of his mind too.” Hatham said accusingly.

 

“Okay long story short is you know me. I know you and Neral. We have lots of hot and heavy, nasty sex. Sometimes just him and sometimes just you, oftentimes it is with you both. You like corporeal a lot more then he does but we all get along peachy, okay?” She said bluntly.

 

“Are you from the stream? Why are you here? Are you stupid?” He growled out.

 

“Hai I am and no, I am not stupid. The reason is mine but I need your help please.” Ayana said softly running her hands along his neck.

 

He hissed softly as it felt really good how she touched. She was mesmerized it seemed by his skin and she slowly separated the lapels of his jacket style top.

 

“Hatham.” She groaned as she pressed her mouth to his clavicle.

 

“Son of a bitch. I am bound to you.” He whispered stunned.

 

She groaned a little and her hands slid down his back and she squeezed his buttocks. He was shocked but he was known for taking corporeal lovers. Her hands seemed to wander on their own and she suddenly undid his pants and there was no pain.

 

“Why did you ignore the pain? I cannot port into Hueco Mundo.” She said sliding down his pants.

 

“Woman, how was I supposed to know that my bound was here when she should be there? Oh Gods you do know me well.” He groaned as she slid down his body.

 

“Kamis you fucking gorgeous bastard. You make me loose all thought. Lay down!” She growled.

 

Hatham was outraged but he did indeed lie down. She proceeded to kiss and lick along his groin and then swallow him. He was shocked at how good it felt and she was ruthless in her pursuit of his pleasure. He was gasping hard and Neral was going to be crippled with this soon. He yelled out as he felt his release. She lifted her mouth and proceeded to kiss him. She made him taste himself and he snarled out as he flattened her under him. She automatically drew her legs up and wrapped them around him and he was moving within her hard and animal like but it felt so good. Neral staggered into the room and he watched his identical twin with a beautiful woman who was not Shouten but she was something to look at.

 

“Neral.” She moaned softly.

 

“What the hell?” He asked shaking.

 

“Just do something.” Hatham snapped.

 

“What have you done now Hatham?” His twin demanded.

 

Neral watched in shock as Ayana bared her fangs and sank them into Hatham's shoulder and he went rigid. She was drinking his blood and Neral neared them. Hatham rolled off of her and she was in a blood lust. She jerked Neral to her and she watched his face as she touched him.

 

“She is our bound. She is here from stream.” Hatham muttered in exhaustion.

 

“But why?” He asked and then moaned as she sank her fangs into him.

 

“She will not say. Oh Gods! What have we done. I am going to come again.” The elder twin stated as his body erupted.

 

Neral had joined with her too and he too suddenly was in the midst of a mind numbing release. Both of them were on the bed and Ayana was thrilled to no end. This felt right to her; this felt natural. Neral and Hatham were out of it and she lifted her head.

 

“Hatham! I need your help my love. My sister is hurt. She is a healer but her spine was injected with kemuri and she has been in unbearable pain.” She explained.

 

“Oh! That is horrid! Who would do such a terrible thing?” Hatham demanded.

 

“Your Aunt Sanra. The evil bitch.” She growled.

 

“Figures. Yes, I will help. Neral can you keep watch over my experiments?” He asked rising.

 

“Yes. So we have felt like crud because you have been here?” Neral asked.

 

“Sorry. I cannot port in. You all ignored the pain so it was on you to come find me.” She grinned as she slapped Neral then Hatham's backsides.

 

They both dropped their sculpted, handsome jaws and she stood up and dressed. She stretched and she seemed genuinely happy. Hatham pulled his hair up in a pony tail and he dressed quickly. Neral crawled onto the bed and fell asleep. His twin smiled and took the hand of the woman they had obviously mated.

 

“Let me grab some supplies. Please stay here and I will return.” He said as he walked from the room.

 

“I feel so much better.” Neral mumbled.

 

“So you and Hatham both work as scientists?” She asked watching him.

 

“Yes. We enjoy it. I need sleep.” He yawned.

 

“You two are too adorable.” Ayana smiled.

 

“Adorable? I am adorable?” He asked raising a brow.

 

“Hai.” She said as she waited.

 

Hatham returned with a black satchel looking bag and he took her hand. He now had on black leather gloves that he favored when going into the mortal plane. They phased and she led him quickly through to Nanami who was still thankfully passed out. Chikara, Riki, Riku, and a tarantula onna stood by. Ayana had never met Orika and she was startled to see her. Her brown hair was so fair that it looked almost blonde and she stood by her sons. Riku looked her over with interest and she could not help but suppress a shudder of lust when encountered with him. She suppressed her natural self and Hatham was examining Nanami.

 

“I feel something in her spine which is bulging.” He explained to Ayana.

 

“Oh Kamis.” She said horrified.

 

“Sanra is talented with her kemuri and hiebie at the same time. The glands that make our poisons work in tandem with her. Others can learn this but she is the best at it.” Hatham explained.

 

“So you are saying the two shoki merged and solidified in her spinal column?” Ayana asked.

 

“Yes, that is what I am saying. I can perhaps open her up and remove it but it is dangerous and best done in Hueco Mundo.” He sighed.

 

“Like hell! Maec crazy ass is running around.” She growled.

 

“He is my uncle.” He muttered.

 

“He is also a homicidal fucking maniac Hatham. Dear Kamis please do not tell me you have any kind of care for him.” She snapped.

 

“Not really. I am Dorval's son. I matter not to him. My parents were not involved much with court life. I am only there to further my own ambitions.” He shrugged.

 

“Mhmm.” She said thinking.

 

“What is wrong with her?” Riki demanded.

 

“She needs something removed from her spine. Trying to figure the best place to do such a dangerous thing.” She explained.

 

“I would need to be awake. You could do a spinal block with some widow and morphine mixed. You would have about two hours to work.” Nanami said mumbling.

 

“Do you think this would work?” He asked.

 

“Hai. The chunk of poisonous junk must be compressing my cord. I have to get it out or I am a dead onna.” She said shuddering.

 

“We have all the stuff we need. We need to prepare the room.” Hatham said looking around.

 

“You need to feed and make sure you are nice and full.” Ayana pointed out.

 

“Correct. We need to have this young woman washed and prepared. I need a room prepared that is cleaned and fresh bedding as well.” He said to Chikara.

 

“I will see to it.” The tarantula lord stated.

 

Everyone nodded and separated to get everything ready. Hatham phased out and Ayana watched Orika leave to prepare. Riku and Riki stood by as Ayana knelt by Nanami. Riku was admiring the onna's drenched backside and Riki was concerned for the other female.

 

“Stop!” Riki hissed.

 

“What?” Riku demanded.

 

“Stop ogling her.” He snapped.

 

“Whatever.” His younger brother snapped as he walked over to the beautiful onna.

 

“Do you need anything?” He asked.

 

“I think I am okay. Your mother is lovely.” She said smiling.

 

“Thank you. She is lovely but a hard ass.” He chuckled.

 

Ayana choked and she stared at her future lover. Riku was not shy and once they had come to blows and reconciled; they were close, too close. Riki was obviously staring at Nanami and Ayana was intrigued by it. She would let things run their course and not be alone with Chikara or Riku. She had no qualms being alone with Hatham and he mentally groaned in her head. She thought every lewd thought and position she could come up with. Her Shouten mate knew it was going to be a long day.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hibari was hunting in the forest and she had settled upon animals as of late. She was going to surprise her lovely mate when she was done and she found prey quickly and finished off the deer. She buried it and made her way to the castle. Her mate did not hunt and he was a vegetarian. She found it so odd but he was such a good soul. She walked in and he was chatting with a dragoness. She had never seen this onna before and it unsettled her at how close the beautiful creature sat to her mate.

 

“Hibari! This is Lady Cuifen. She is a water dragon from Southern China and a distant cousin from my grandmere's side.” Ryunosuke stated.

 

The dragoness had pale blue eyes with soft grey hair. Her scales were along her cheeks some and her neck; they gave her an exotic appearance and they shone in the light.

 

“Hello.” She said bowing.

 

“It is so good to meet you. I was surprised to hear that my cousin the houshi had mated.” Cuifen said eyeing Hibari.

 

“Hai. I am sure it was a shock.” Hibari said smiling tightly.

 

“Oh it was I assure you. He is such a handsome man and the fact that he is so powerful yet so gentle. Most dragonesses were sorrowed that they lost the chance to mate him to the cloth.” The dragoness said smiling too sweetly.

 

“Your loss is my gain then.” His mate said grinning.

 

Ryunosuke picked up on that insult and he stared at Hibari and mouthed what was wrong.

 

-She is ogling you and I will not abide it! - She growled in his head.

 

He looked at her helplessly and Cuifen noticed they were staring at the other.

 

“Well it seems you two have couple issues. I shall be here for a few weeks sweet cousin. So good to meet you Lady Hibari. You are the luckiest onna.” She said smiling.

 

Hibari's face was stiff and she smiled as sweetly as she could. She made clawing motions with her hands as the grand dragoness left and she snarled at her mate.

 

“What is wrong with you?” She demanded.

 

“What did I do?” Ryunosuke asked shocked.

 

“She wants you! Good fucking Kamis she could not have made her interest any plainer.” She said glaring at him.

 

“Hibari please calm yourself. I want no other onna and I have known her all my life. I have never had any interest in her nor will I.” He said softly.

 

Hibari did not seem overly convinced and she suddenly phased out. He gasped out and he was quite literally sweating terribly.

 

“Bari! Oh Kamis. What are you doing? Not here. Please not here.” Ryunosuke was groaning loudly.

 

She phased out of him and she sat next to him. He was panting and he looked over at her. She met his eyes and his were red.

 

“I do not want anyone else. I love you. I have only ever loved you.” He whispered fiercely.

 

“Okay.” She said softly.

 

She took his hand and phased him to their bedroom. She was full pregnant with his babe again and he was looking forward to it. She lay next to him and kissed his mouth and he responded. His palm cupped her face then slowly down her side till he reached her belly. He felt his child move under his hand and that made him happy. He had the feeling he was going to have a large family and not since the days of Tianlong had dragons had large families. Hibari was feeling insecure and she nipped at his lips and she became more then fevered.

 

“Hibari let me make love to you ai.” He murmured passionately.

 

She phased her clothes off and his. He smiled softly and he climbed over her so that he was spooning her form. She felt him slip into her and she gasped as he moved his hips.

 

“You are mine Ryu. You are mine forever. Ai shiteru!” Hibari groaned out.

 

“Hai. I am yours.” Ryunosuke stated in her ear.

 

Their lovemaking was passionate and consuming as normal and she yelled out as their climaxes took them. His eyes were closed and his mate left him always feeling a little weak in body but always full in his heart. When they had reconciled; things had become absolutely good between them again. He dressed in a yukata and took some tea with him. She was asleep heavily and he sat on the beach to watch the water. He sipped the steaming liquid and he felt his distant cousin.

 

“Hello Cuifen.” He murmured.

 

“Hello Ryunosuke. Your mate is very territorial.” She said chuckling.

 

“She is near birth. She is feeling out of sorts but I have never found her more beautiful.” He smiled.

 

“Really? You know it is common for dragon men to take lovers when their mates are with child.” She laughed.

 

He sputtered and stared at her. She smiled wryly and pat his back.

 

“Hai cousin. You are such a sweet and perfect man. Seriously most dragon noble onna wept when you took your vows. I know I did.” She stated looking over the water.

 

“I will not speak on this. Hibari is my mate and I love her more then anything.” Ryunosuke stated.

 

“You were vowed to Buddha before you were even an adult. You come back from who knows where and this onna is on your arm? Who is she? Who is her family?” Cuifen demanded.

 

“She is related to the Western House. Cuifen, she is the only onna I ever looked at in such a manner. She is the only onna I craved to touch.” He growled softly.

 

“You are a fool Ryunosuke! She is one onna.” She said narrowing her eyes.

 

He stood up and she did too. She pressed her hands to his chest and he looked at her as if she had a disease. Cuifen looked at him closely and she had been obsessed with him forever. She had not mated because he had wanted him. He was perfection by any species standards and she suddenly pulled him to her lips. He growled in anger and pushed her off of him.

 

“No! I have given my heart to Hibari. She is my soul mate and I will only be with her. I do not want you.” He snapped.

 

“She is not even a dragon!” She yelled.

 

“Well neither am I.” The dragon prince said crossing his arms.

 

“You are half dragon and you appear so. Kamis you choose an onna who is beneath you?” She asked welling up with tears.

 

“She is not beneath me. She is royalty as well but that had nothing to do with it. I asked for her to take my purity. I gave it to her and I am happy.” He stated with a calm and clear voice.

 

Hibari stood up on a small hill as her mate argued with the dragoness. She heard his words and she smiled softly. She looked down and she noticed blood coming down her leg. Her eyes widened and she looked up.

 

“Ryu! Ryu!” She screamed.

 

“Bari?” He asked looking up.

 

He saw her reach down and he saw red. He shoved Cuifen away and he ran towards his mate. She was standing there shaking a little and he came up and looking at her hand. The blood was thick and red and he ported her to their bedroom. He helped her lay down and he spread her thighs.

 

“Bari, do you feel any pain?” He asked concerned.

 

“No. Oh Kamis it could be placenta previa.” Hibari groaned.

 

“Explain.” He said softly.

 

“The organ that feeds the babe covers my cervix.” She said panicking.

 

“You need the in between.” He said suddenly porting them to the Jing in between.

 

He saw no healer around but he knew what to do. He had delivered hundreds of babes and he took a deep breath.

 

“Bari? Do you trust me?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“Okay. I am going to grab some things and I am going to get our babe.” He said hurriedly.

 

Ryunosuke went around the in between the planes and he gathered up a sharp knife along with many can clothes and needle and silk thread. He came back and he handed her a draught to help numb her. She swallowed it and he waited a few minutes. He ripped her gown open and exposed her belly. He rubbed her stomach with sake and then cut her low on her bikini area. She winced in pain but he repeated the process through the layers and he slowly reached into her womb and carefully pulled out a babe. She was covered in blood but she was healthy size. He cut her cord and she began to scream on her own. Hibari saw her and she began to weep. The babe had white hair and she was scaled heavily. Hibari held her whilst he carefully removed the organ and then began to clean her out. It was a slow process but he very carefully sewed her up layer by layer. His hands shook a little but he did. He had only delivered ten or so babes like this and only three mothers had lived. He looked at his mate and his daughter and she carefully held up his baby girl. She had mahogany eyes as she calmly stared at her father.

 

“Kamis Bari. She is beautiful.” He said with trembling lips and carefully taking her.

 

“I think so. Thank you for what you said to that dragoness.” She whispered.

 

“I only spoke the truth. You need to be seen by a real doctor or healer but I think we got you through.” Ryunosuke stated.

 

“Hai. I love my dragon prince.” She whispered sleepily.

 

His eyes held moisture and his heart held much love. He loved this onna with his whole soul and he watched her put their daughter to her breast.

Wenling could not stand herself but she had spent the morning with Ryuu and then begged out to hunt. She was back stepping into the deep forest when she felt Jortel behind her. She turned and their bodies were instantly together and they were kissing passionately. They had talked and she had told that she indeed love him but she loved Ryuu too very much. Jortel had decided to deal with things as they came and he stole away to see her. She ended up against a tree and they did not stop kissing and nipping at the other's skin.

 

“You wanted me.” He said nipping her throat.

 

“Yes. Gods Jortel harder!” Wenling whined.

 

“Oui my love.” He smirked softly as their flesh joined.

 

She was breathing harshly and she crashed. Jortel was overwhelmed and she snapped her fangs around his juncture.

 

“Oh mon Dieu!” He snarled out softly.

 

Their bodies were slick and he was breathing through the intense rush. When she had shown up that night; she had returned the mating mark. She had also taken him several times till he was more then sober and then blew his mind. He had to pull back and he fell to his backside.

 

“I need food.” He chuckled.

 

“Did I wear out the little sky dragon?” She teased.

 

“Oui. Your dragon is about to pass out into a coma.” He laughed.

 

“Okay well I am going to bag a deer then too.” She said suddenly changing form.

 

She had not tail but she was adjusting. She had survived and that was what mattered to her. She took off into a run and she caught the scent of a meal. What she did not expect was another tiger. It lowered its head and snarled at her. She yowled loudly and the larger male had pale green eyes and he was a powerful Byakko male. He changed form and it was no one she recognized and suddenly two more came out.

 

“This is the female?” He asked another male.

 

A loud roar was heard and Wenling changed form. Her eyes were wide as she took in this too beautiful male.

 

“This is the female.” The male she had met months earlier stated.

 

Wenyan Chung stood there beside the green eyed Byakko male and they all blinked at each other.

 

“I am Shirong Hu. I am a general in my lord's elite guard as well as a distant cousin to Lord Chen Hu.” He stated watching her.

 

His long silver hair was plaited partially and he was broad shouldered but compact like Cheung. Wenling had never seen a Byakko man that made her mouth go dry and his yoki was powerful.

 

“I am Wenling and you stand in the Ryuku Kingdom. You do not belong here.” She said crossing her arms.

 

“Neither do you nu zi.” Shirong retorted.

 

“As a matter of fact I do. I am mated to Lord Ryuu the Younger. Now buh-bye.” She snapped.

 

Wenling turned around and went to walk away and Shirong hissed. She looked back and he was staring at her backside. Her cheeks burned and he was horrified.

 

“I lost it in battle. Do not worry your pretty head over this nu zi pretty boy.” Wenling stated.

 

“I am sorry nu zi but I have my orders. You are a Byakko female and you told Chung that your name is Hu. My lord gives permission for all the nu zi in his family to mate.” The military Byakko stated.

 

“My Ba knows and that is all that is all that should matter. I am not going anywhere with you and if you insist then we are going to have to fight.” She stated.

 

He sighed and cracked his knuckles. His arrogance pissed her off and she let her eyes bleed silver. She held out her hands and the ice appeared in them immediately. The other Byakko were startled at her power and she stood ready to battle.

 

“You have inherited the yoki of the ruling family.” He stated impressed.

 

“Yes. You wanna try me out pussy boy?” She growled.

 

“Nu zi your mouth is horrid!” He snapped.

 

“Yeah, so?” Wenling hissed.

 

Shirong rushed her and several more grabbed her. She could not overpower all of them and she screamed out as she fought.

 

“Jortel!” She screamed.

 

She struggled against the several males. She screamed loudly and suddenly the sky dragon came running through the forest but the Byakko were already pulling her through their shoki mist.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////

Wenling was snarling in fury and she was trying to kick and scream. Shirong was astonished at her strength but the loss of her tail truly horrified him. His men had to drop her when she bit one and scratched the other. She was fixing to turn and he firmly held her neck and he forced her over. He moved her silks and she screamed as he exposed her rump. He yowled sharply and the other males turned their heads. Shirong saw the healed damage and he felt along the scar.

 

“How dare you!” She snarled wildly.

 

“What did this to you?” He asked softly.

 

“A fucking basilisk. How dare you!” Wenling snapped.

 

“A mythic reptile and you are mated to a dragon?” Shirong asked,

 

“Yes! He is a good man and I love him and now let me go you bastard.” She hissed.

 

Shirong let her go and she scrambled away from him. She recognized Dong Jiang and she stood up. Her white hanfu was messed up and she gave Shirong death glares.

 

“Pardon me for my brazenness but it is awful what happened.” He said.

 

“Well you are going be on my shit list buddy.” She snapped in annoyance.

 

“Where did you learn to talk nu zi!” He growled.

 

“Not your business now leave me the hell alone.” She stated as she suddenly tried to make a run for it.

 

Shirong sighed and he pinched the back of her neck and she went down in a heap.

Asuna was with Hideaki planning for a move against the wyvern on their doorstep. Ryukotsusei had made a major blow when he had killed Brennus but Mochrie was out for blood. She stood up and stretched as she looked in on the triplets who also shared a cradle with Takeo. They were sleeping and she smiled.

 

“I am going to hunt and I shall return.” She mumbled.

 

“Okay but stay near the in between please.” Hideaki murmured.

 

“Hai.” She grinned and she kissed his ear.

 

He grunted and he went back to his planning. Their relationship was intense and she enjoyed it immensely. She slipped outside and she changed form. She began to hunt when she ran into a macaque and he blinked at her. It was Prince Akihiko and she changed form.

 

“Hello.” He murmured.

 

“Why are you on Honshu?” She asked softly.

 

“You do not remember me do you?” he asked.

 

“Hai. I remember that you are Akio's brother and your sire's name is Hiro.” She smiled widely.

 

“I thought I remembered your face and then your name. It has been bothering me since I saw your face. I remember barely as I had lost a lot of blood but you gave me yours.” Akihiko stated.

 

She stared at and she struggled to remember then it hit her. This had been the saru youkai she had freed from Danika's coven. She slapped her palm over her mouth and her eyes were wide. She dropped her hand a moment later and Asuna was astonished.

 

“Kamis that was you!” She said in surprise.

 

“Hai. You saved me from certain death that day. When I realized who you were; I felt the need to come and tell you thank you again. I am your humble servant.” He said bowing low.

 

“Do not be ridiculous. No one deserves that fate and she is an evil whore. I am glad I was of service to a fellow Japanese youkai. I was fixing to hunt but if you should like to join me.” Asuna stated with a smile.

 

“You say ridiculous inu but I was a very young man. I was terribly young and I had been snared in her yoki. Do you know what it is to have your first experience with rutting with a monster?” He asked.

 

“No. I am sorry you suffered for her. Danika is a monster. I am so sorry.” She sighed looking away.

 

“No need to apologize. I thought to say thank you again. I am glad to know that you are well. Your sister and Akio seem quite taken with each other.” Akihiko murmured.

 

“She is so happy right now. She has not been happy for awhile and Akio seems to bring out her playful side.” She smiled.

 

“He is young and impetuous. Might I ask you something?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” Asuna nodded.

 

“Please stay away from my father.” He stated bluntly.

 

“Pardon?” She sputtered.

 

“He is a decent man but he has no standards in his personal life. He is also territorial and possessive. If he starts to believe you are his then he gets irrational.” He stated honestly.

 

“You tell me this why?” She demanded.

 

“Because I owe you and I know what you are. I also know how we male macaque are. We are amorous creatures but my father more so because he is the alpha male.” Akihiko said meeting her eyes.

 

“How are you Akihiko?” She asked.

 

“It matters not. Please enjoy your hunt.” He said bowing.

 

Asuna was curious and she followed him and he turned to stare at her. She cupped his cheek and his face betrayed nothing.

 

“How are you?” She asked softly.

 

“Not so much like him but not without experience.” Akihiko stated whispering.

 

“I am sorry then. I should not have.” Asuna bowed her head.

 

“No issue. I only tell you so that you do not deal with his jealous nature. I bid you good day Lady Asuna.” He mumbled bowing his head.

 

Asuna wondered and she stepped in front of him and pressed her lips to his. Akihiko shocked her and suddenly growled as his hands buried in her hair and kissed her passionately. His tongue sought to taste her and ran along her palate. She whimpered softly and he just as suddenly withdrew from the intimacy.

 

“Akihiko?” She asked dazed.

 

“Remembering what you did and your little stunt at the onsen. You are lovely.” He said kissing her cheek.

 

He again bowed and he walked away. He ported out and she was still dazed. The fact that he was the same youkai she had saved was blowing her mind. The fact that he was warning her away from Hiro was also surprising to her. She slowly changed form and went on about her business.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yoshiko and Akio were in forest and they were sparring. She was laughing wildly as she butted him with her wooden katana and he frowned. His lover was really good with sparring and landed a blow to his backside.

 

“Damnit onna!” Akio snarled.

 

“Sorry.” Yoshiko smiled.

 

“You really are better then me.” He pouted.

 

“Um I am also nearly four centuries old.” She explained.

 

“True. You're an old onna.” He cackled.

 

She whacked him harder and he yelped. They continued to spar and neither noticed the aura come up on them and Yoshiko stiffened when she heard twigs snap. She dropped the wooden katana and pulled her fang. Akio was shocked and she was shaking. A silver tiger emerged from the woods and she cried out. Akio frowned and he watched as the Byakko slowly changed and a very suave looking tiger stood before them. Yoshiko was trying to stay calm and the male obviously knew her.

 

“Shiko.” He whispered.

 

“Why are you here?” She demanded.

 

“I wanted to talk to you.” Ling stated.

 

“You came all this way to talk me? It is no matter because I was cruel and you asked me to leave.” She said as tears streamed down her face.

 

“I was mourning and I was angry. We have been at odds for so long now. I just want it back the way it used to be.” He sighed.

 

“It cannot be the way it used to be. Too much has been said. Please go. Your brothers are in the Ryuku Kingdom and both twins have made you a great uncle.” She said dismissing him.

 

“You will give up so easily? You give up what we had?” He demanded.

 

“Hai.” She growled.

 

“You came to me at thirteen years old and asked for our betrothal to stand. You asked to be my wife and my mate! You asked me to take you as my partner when you turned fifty! What have you asked that I have not given you besides a child?” Ling snarled.

 

“It is over! I learned to live without you and I will do so again. Leave me alone! I am done. I am tired Ling and I am tired of hurting. It has nothing but pain since the Boxers and I am tired! I am so fucking tired.” Yoshiko said sheathing her fang.

 

She turned away from him and he was in disbelief. His silver hair was pulled up in a high pony tail and he kept his hair shorter compared to Quon. It only came below his shoulders. His silvery eyes had a tint of blue in them as they followed her movements. Ling was built like Cheung and he was leaner then Quon and he moved fast. He pinned his long time love and she was snarling.

 

“You cannot just give up. I cannot let you walk away after three and half centuries of loving you! Damn you, I have known you since you were four years old! How can you give up on us?” He demanded.

 

“Because I am exhausted. Being a Hu exhausts me beyond endure. I have nothing and it has been nothing between us since you were revived. We have fought and said terrible things to each other. You are the one that asked me to leave. Honor your own words tiger.” She snapped.

 

“Who is the boy?” Ling asked in anger.

 

“This is Prince Akio. His father is the Snow Monkey king in Northern Hokkaido.” Yoshiko stated.

 

“Well hello macaque. A little far south?” Her mate asked in jealousy.

 

“Princess Yoshiko invited me. Looks like you haven't been.” He snorted.

 

“Akio please.” She said under her breath.

 

“He doesn't have to show up and act like an asshole. He sent you away and now he wants you back? Fuck you kitty boy.” Akio retorted.

 

“You have discussed our issues?” He asked in anger.

 

“We are not together, remember? You said go away and do not come back. I am not Asuna. I will not be thrown out of Hunan and then when you decided that you threw a temper tantrum asked to please return and act as if nothing happened.” She retorted.

 

“I have been doing everything in my power to give us what we wanted. I have been hurting too Yoshiko.” He whispered.

 

Akio realized how utterly angry and horrendously jealous he was. His lover was obviously upset and falling apart with this bastard being here. He jerked her to him and Ling looked outraged at his touching Yoshiko.

 

“You fucking the simian Shiko?” He demanded.

 

“Not your business Ling. There is no betraying you so leave me alone. Go to your family and leave me the hell alone!” She yelled.

 

Ling looked betrayed and hurt as he bowed. He ported out via his shoki and Yoshiko turned in Akio's arms and began to sob. He held her to him and kept his arms around her.

 

 

“You okay?” Akio asked.

 

“I will be okay. Thanks.” Yoshiko murmured wiping away her tears.

 

He was not convinced and they went and sat under a tree and she laid her head in his lap. His clawed hand went through her hair and it comforted her.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ling sat with Cheung in the Ryuku Kingdom and he was devastated. He had hoped to talk to her. He had not expected that she would have found someone new so soon. He was further shocked to see his brother with a cub.

 

“This is Jian.” He said smiling softly.

 

“What? How?” He asked stunned.

 

“It is a long story.” Cheung said a little uncomfortable.

 

“Brother! Did Mother know?” Ling asked completely shook up.

 

“Yes she knew. You know me and I keep nothing from our mother.” He said looking thoughtful.

 

“Who is his Mama?” His younger brother asked.

 

Asuna took that moment to walk in and she picked up the cub. Ling was shocked to his stripes and she smiled at her brother in law.

 

“How did you get here?” Asuna asked.

 

“The Tengu.” He stated still staring.

 

“Hn.” She said taking Jian and she walked away.

 

Ling turned to Cheung and he was blushing madly. He stared at his older brother and he was shaking a little.

 

“You and Lady Asuna? Quon has not killed you? How in the hell?” He asked shocked.

 

“Umm that is the odd part. Quon is okay with it. In fact our older brother has become different in his thinking.” He stated turned bright, bright red.

 

“He found out you have carried a torch for her all these years!” Ling said shocked.

 

“Yes.” Cheung stated looking away.

 

“Oh my Gods. He is okay with it? You and Lady Asuna had a cub?” He asked stupidly.

 

“Yes. I was being me and she called me on it. Things happened and I gave into my feelings. We went from there. Quon knew from the beginning.” He sighed.

 

“Good Gods. I mean wow. This is huge. You do realize that between Zihao, the twins, and now Jian; the dynasty is assured and Ba would flip his lid.” His younger brother stated.

 

“Yes, I know. So we shall not tell him. Now you came here to see Yoshiko and she did what?” He asked.

 

“She was sparring with this freaking macaque of all beings. He got really territorial over and I bet you that they are involved.” Ling stated in sudden anger.

 

“Oh that. Yeah she has been carrying on from what I have heard. We were all pretty sure you were done.” Cheung said sheepishly.

 

“Truly? When I have ever been done with her? Good Gods Che! I was celibate for damn near forty years because I wished to be good for her. I have done everything I could for her. I love her! I cannot love anyone else. She has been my life since she was thirteen years old. I have loved that nu zi purely and with my whole soul. How could I ever be done with her? I was angry and hurt. We have lost three cubs! She looks at me with such pain and I cannot stop it. I have tried. Nothing I have done has made it better.” He stated with gut wrenching pain.

 

“I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could do.” His older brother said trying to lend comfort.

 

“I spoke my pain that morning. I did not mean it and I think she was looking for a way out. Perhaps it is best. Perhaps our time is over. I have always loved her and it kills me.” He said looking down.

 

“Perhaps I can talk to Asuna. She would talk to Yoshiko.” Cheung stated.

 

“I shall not stop you but I think I shall hunt.” Ling said standing and he drifted away.

 

The middle brother stood up and he wandered to his shared mate's rooms in the dragon castle. She was feeding their son and Tsukiko. He stood in the doorway and he watched his child feed. He waved his little fists and he realized he was smiling very softly at the sight.

 

“With that look on your face; I am thinking you love your son.” She stated meeting his eyes.

 

“Yes, I love him so much.” He stated as he neared them.

 

“Quon was here. He is looking for Wenling. She went hunting and he was hoping maybe you could track her. She likes to hunt big, risky game.” She stated.

 

“Yes, I can do that. Kiss me.” He whispered sitting near her.

 

Asuna turned her head and he met her lips with his. She was almost instantly groaning as he sought to meet her tongue and caress her feverishly. She was still stunned at how deep he really was and how utterly passionate he was. He and Quon were more alike then she had thought. Quon was also more of a risk taker then he used to be and he was demanding that they all spend time together. He was demanding that Cheung shake loose his feelings of shame and embrace their situation. She was still getting used to the mind altering love making that occurred when both of them took her. Asuna was greedy when it came to them and she praised the Kamis every time they stepped into view. Cheung slowly pulled away from her mouth and she grinned at him.

 

“What do you wish from me?” She asked.

 

“Talk to Yoshiko? Ling suffers.” He said brushing his thumbs along her cheeks.

 

“I shall.” Asuna nodded.

 

He bent down and kissed the silver head of his cub and he cupped Tsukiko's head. He bowed and he ported via his shoki to search for his niece. Asuna finished feeding them and she stood up. She left them with their nanny and she checked on Hajnal. She was the perfect babe. She slept long and fed regularly. Asuna smiled wistfully and wished all babes were as such. She ported to the West and she found Yoshiko quickly enough. She was trying to be wary since Maec had broken through the barrier once. They had reinforced it but her enemy was crafty. Asuna was looking around and she felt something odd. She felt an aura she had not felt in a long while. She stared at Youshiro and he bowed before her. Her smile was wide and she walked into his arms. He hugged her tightly and he pressed his forehead to hers. He was carrying an air of sadness about him and Asuna pulled back and looked at him as his citrine eyes held hers.

 

“Youshiro? What is wrong?” She asked.

 

He smiled wistfully and hugged her tightly. Her younger brother was suddenly sobbing and she was in shock.

 

“Zhou is dead.” He said hugging her desperately.

 

“How?” Asuna asked in total shock.

 

“Shouten. A random attack. They came looking for something specific at the palace. Father dispatched the bastard but Zhou was in our bed. They slit her throat.” He said falling apart.

 

“Juria send you?” She asked smoothing his short silver hair.

 

“Hai. Sister, I cannot breathe. I cannot function! I loved her. Kamis Suna, she was my everything.” He said weeping.

 

She continued to hold him and he was around the same age as Ang Chi. Although Osamu and she were twins; Youshiro and she had become close through the years.

 

“Oh Kamis.” She said more shocked.

 

He continued to sob and her little brother had been mated to the same onna for years and years. They had seven pups and they had been happy. Her brother was a good Chichi and mate. Zhou had always been a doting mother and excellent spouse. They had been in love and they had been happy. Asuna's heart broke for her sibling and her younger sister was facing pain. Life stank for the pups of Lord Sesshomaru. She finally got him to settle down near the palace and she wandered to Yoshiko. Her sister looked at her wanly and she sighed.

 

“Ling is a mess.” She stated.

 

“I am not? He dismissed me.” Yoshiko stated stubbornly.

 

“Talk with him calmly so that you may tell yourself you tried. Then be stubborn and move on.” Asuna stated exasperated.

 

“Hai.” She growled as she ported out.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////

Yoshiko was wary as she walked through the dragon lands. She was not used to the reptiles but she found Ling quickly. He stared at her with pain filled eyes and she looked down.

 

“Why are you here?” He asked softly.

 

“You traveled a long way to talk and so we shall. I will attempt to stay calm and not hurt you with callous words.” Yoshiko stated as she sat opposite him.

 

“Shiko, I love you. I have loved you so much for so long. I am Byakko and I have only ever been mated to you. The pain in your eyes has been killing me and I am certain I am to blame. I have only ever wanted your happiness and for a long time you told me that it was me that made you that way. Now all I see is twisted sorrow.” Ling stated.

 

“Then why not try and work it out? I was wrong to say what I did but you asked me to leave. You said you were tired of suffering. I have no wish to make you suffer and if dealing with me is as such then I want nothing to do with you.” She said as anguish constricted her chest.

 

“I cannot give you a cub! Our last three tries have been weak and unable to make it past a few weeks. You cry and cry; do you have any idea how it makes me feel? Hell, Cheung has a cub now! Him of all people. I am sick to my stomach and this is not what I wanted for us!” He said getting emotional.

 

“Then let us leave it alone. Nothing has changed and I really do not want to fight anymore and I want you happy. My misery makes you sorrowed so let us just try to remember the good times, okay?” She said staring over his head.

 

“I love you!” He snarled.

 

“And I shall always love you. This is so cliché but sometimes it is not enough. I must go.” Yoshiko murmured.

 

She stood up and Ling suddenly grabbed her. He jerked her forward and she made a noise. He was beyond emotion and turmoil. He ripped open her kimono and she snarled out as his hand barely caressed her skin. Ling made such an anguished noise and he crushed her to his body. He held her tightly as Ling made growling sounds as he pushed his nose into her hair and his hands fisted the heavy silk of the blush colored kimono.

 

“Yoshiko! Damnit nu zi. I cannot do this without you. You showed up that day and I have not been whole without you since. You told me that you wanted me and that you dreamed of me everyday since you were four. I lost my head when you showed up. I saw your face as the nu zi I knew you would be and I was thunderstruck. Never in my dreams did I think I would meet you in person. I had seen you in my dreams.” He said whispering in her ear.

 

She was trying to catch her breath and she stifled her sobs. His mouth found hers and their story was epic on both sides of the Sea of Japan. Yoshiko kissed him like she always did and it was out pouring of her soul. Ling lost it and they had been in a reception room. His soul mate; his wife; and his mate was here as he leaned her back slowly as his mouth began to devour her slowly. His lips and mouth were hot on her skin as he touched her with consummate love and consuming passion. Ling understand his Ba far better then his brothers did. He understood why his sire had gone insane over Lady Augusta. It was just wrong what he had done but he knew why. He had harbored his own crush on the Western Lady until he had seen Yoshiko as young adult. His mouth wandered to a breast and he suckled her. She gasped and whined softly as he greedily tasted her. He loved his mate. He loved how much she begged for his touch. Ling loved how much she craved to just be near him. They could be in the same bed reading together or on a battle field fighting back to back but this was absolute Nirvana to him. He continued to suckle her rosy tip and he slipped his finger deep within her center to stroke her g-spot. Ling could see Yoshiko trying to keep quiet but she was gasping louder and louder as he pressed in and massaged with perfect rhythm. She was wild under him as she bucked and cried out. He was a typical male and he loved her ripe breasts and would sample them at any given opportunity.

 

“Ll-ling!” Yoshiko screamed out.

 

He felt his hand and she had released violently. He released her nipple and stared at her mouth.

 

“Yoshiko. My princess, my lover always and forever of my heart.” He murmured against her plush flesh.

 

She was quaking from the powerful orgasm and her mind was swimming in a daze. He brought his hand to her lips and she snarled out. She licked and sucked his tapered appendages and she used her free hand to seize his girth. She stroked him with purpose but he stopped her.

 

“No! Do not stop me.” She whimpered.

 

“Shiko. Shhh. I did not mean for this.” Ling whispered as he softly kissed the valley of her breasts.

 

“Ugh! Ling Hu! Fuck me!” She growled out.

 

“I do not fuck my mate.” He stated indignantly.

 

“You stupid feline it is a phrase.” She snarled.

 

She shoved him off and he noticed a little more aggression and more purpose in her. Ling landed on his back on the floor and she settled between his thighs. She swallowed him and he gasped in pleasure as she began to work his length and taste him. His pre-release was heavy and it made her beyond dizzy. His taste was making her feral and she wanted him hard as hell and pummeling her. She did not want to think of their emotional hang ups and she only wanted to feel his perfect body against hers. She wanted to feel his Byakko yoki react to hers and he was snarling softly as she used her tongue to rub and massage his head.

 

“Yoshiko! Nu zi! Oh Gods yes! Yes!” He cried out passionately.

 

Their sex life had not been about pleasure and only procreation and this was different for them as of late. She got him close to the edge but she was lost in something primitive and not like her. She pulled back and stuck a finger in her mouth and coated it with her saliva. She bit the claw off and Yoshiko laid her head on his belly. He was squirming some and she slowly slipped the digit into him. He released a surprised noise and she sought to make him need more. She sought his gland and stroked it. Ling's reddened eyes shut and he groaned out almost painfully. She kissed along his flat belly and his lover continued the slow carnal torture. She blew on his hard cock and she kissed the turgid flesh. The erectness jumped and it wept heavily as his cries and pleas were not quiet. Yoshiko scented his testes and suckled one as he had her breast and then the other. Ling was lost in the sensations and he wondered why he had not come. His whole upper body jerked forward when her fangs slowly sank into his femoral artery and she lazily drank. He truly had never known her to drink his blood in great quantities and she was doing it now. The powerful spasms should have had him shooting his seed but he was not.

 

“Yoshiko? Beloved I hurt so badly. I need to come. Make me come.” He rasped.

 

Yoshiko lifted blood stained lips and she saw his red eyes and hers were too. She sank her fangs again and his eyes closed. She moved up his body and she slammed her mouth against his. He was startled to taste blood. Ling tasted his own blood and she was thrusting harder against his prostate. She withdrew her finger suddenly but he still felt the full feeling and the prodding against the nodule. She lay beside him and pulled him on top of her. Ling wasted no time and sank within her.

 

“Ughn! Ling!!” She moaned out as he slid within her.

 

“My Gods Yoshiko. This is where I belong. No one else can I have. Only nu zi I will ever touch. Only nu zi I have ever loved. You fit me mate. Feel so good Shiko. What are you doing to me? You feel so good.” He whimpered.

 

Yoshiko loved how he voiced his feelings and how he told her what he needed and wanted. They always talked; even during love making. This was the most intense and passionate encounter they had in a long while and she was holding him back from orgasm. When he did finally release; he would pass out she knew. He was moving hard and eventually it became harsh. She seized up against him as the most draining and strongest orgasm was pulled from him. Her own had been mind altering and she was under him in a daze as he could barely hold himself up as he spent his seed in her. His breath was gone and consciousness almost. Ling collapsed against her; trapping her between him and the floor as he had no energy left.

 

“Oh Gods.” Ling whispered.

 

“Hai?” She asked softly.

 

“Kill me. That was awesome.” He said getting sleepier.

 

Yoshiko's hands were going up and down his back and she wondered what the hell had possessed her. She had taken his blood and done other things to him. She had never held him back before but she liked that aspect. They were too public and she dipped into his mind. He had been given a room and she ported them onto the futon. She let sleep take her and this had been perfection.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////

Ling woke up and it was full dark. Yoshiko was still beside him and he knew contentment. What he felt was not right and he moved to light a lantern. He was horrified to see a pool of blood underneath Yoshiko and she was white. He ran to the door and yelled. The dragoness healer came in and she cursed as she hauled up the inu onna. She was barely alive as she had hemorrhaged.

 

“She has blood drinker in her?” Rena demanded.

 

“Yes. Oh Gods. What is this?” Ling asked.

 

“Miscarriage. Good Kamis. Go get Lady Akemi and her friend Sir Janek. Get em quick like.” She commanded.

 

Ling ran and he found them quickly enough. Akemi read his mind faster then he could speak and Janek followed her. He was horrified by the blood and he could smell the fetal tissue. He was sick to his stomach and he grabbed Yoshiko and ported her to Romania. Ling was leaning against a wall and he was nearly dry heaving.

 

“She was pregnant?” He asked stunned.

 

“Asuna told me. She was trying to see if she could. Nothing personal. She wanted to see if she was to blame.” Akemi whispered.

 

“That fucking macaque?” Ling asked in a rage.

 

“Ling! You two were not together.” His cousin in law pointed out.

 

“She is my wife! She is my soul mate. He is a boy! I will kill him.” He said raging.

 

“Prince Ling!” She growled.

 

“What?” He asked with clenched hands.

 

“Listen to me! You two shared a profound moment. Now you can be there for her. Instead of letting this pull you apart my friend; let this bring you together. There is something missing in her. She cannot carry. Something is remiss. Figure it out.” She said harshly.

 

“Take me to her. Please.” He asked calming down.

 

Akemi took his hand and ported to Romania. She walked through the castle and Eyal came out. He was astonished to see a sister of his lover and he brought them to Yoshiko. She was still ashen but she had been fed blood it seemed. Luca, the uppyr doctor, stood by and waited.

 

“She keeps miscarrying.” Ling stated.

 

“She is imbalanced. Everything is wonky in this girl!” He said angrily.

 

“Pardon?” Ling asked surprised.

 

“She has the canine in her da but why has her uppyr side been so pushed aside? You cannot have children when your body is not healthy! She is not even taking in blood on a regular basis is she?” He asked as if they should have known it.

 

“No.” He nodded.

 

“She is malnourished and her body frail. She cannot carry anything when she can barely sustain herself. I am surprised she is not in a blood lust constantly.” Luca said in disgust.

 

Ling was in shock and stared at his long time mate. She looked so weak and so tiny on the massive European style bed.

 

“What if the inu in her dominated?” He asked softly.

 

“It does not matter! She is uppyr. She is half from what Sir Janek told me. She should have never been denied blood. She should have been taking it in right along with that foul meat you all non blood drinkers take.” The uppyr healer stated.

 

“They did not know.” Ling said clenching his teeth.

 

“Well all the siblings of this missus should be! Gal damned arrogant animal daemons!” He growled.

 

“That is enough Luca. There are not many hybrids around for us to know.” Eyal said softly.

 

“There are enough to know majesty. The Egyptian dogs used to love to mingle with uppyr. You would never have seen the Egyptian hybrids denying their young blood. This is a travesty!” Luca said sitting by Yoshiko.

 

He hauled her up and he cut his own forearm. He opened her mouth and made her take in his older blood. Eyal made up his mind and he moved forward.

 

“What are you doing?” Ling demanded.

 

“If she has been denied this long then her body needs much. I am going to drain her pretty well dry. She is a born uppyr so all it will do is be a healing thing.” He explained.

 

Janek nodded and all stepped back.

 

“Please leave all except for the tiger. This will appear very intimate but please understand I know what I am doing.” The uppyr king stated.

 

Ling nodded and Eyal bared Yoshiko's neck and sank his fangs into her juncture. He did not have to drink long because she had lost a lot of blood to begin with. He cradled her upper body and he cut his forearm like Luca had and he forced her mouth open and he made her sink her fangs in. After a minute or so she woke up and her eyes were blood red. She grabbed his arm and held on tightly.

 

“That is it. Drink it in. Your poor body is starved my dear.” He murmured.

 

She snarled against him and suddenly she fell back. She was breathing hard and she clutched her stomach.

 

“Oh Kamis!” She groaned in pain.

 

“You are feeling hunger pains. Do you need more or do you wish to wait?” Eyal asked gently.

 

“More but hurts.” Yoshiko cried out.

 

Ling moved forward and she was stunned. He sat down where Eyal had vacated and he pulled her up to his neck. Yoshiko wrapped her arms around him and sank her fangs into him deeply.

 

“Shiko! Oh shit! Oh Gods what is this?” Ling asked choking in the sensation.

 

“Tripped her uppyr side my friend. She needed to but it has side effects.” The other man explained.

 

Yoshiko tasted her mate's blood and it tasted like a succulent dish. It had tasted pleasant but now it was delicious; it was consuming, it was food. She let go of his throat and she cried out.

 

“I smell you. Oh Kamis is this what Suna feels like?” Yoshiko asked absolutely horrified.

 

“Da.” Eyal nodded.

 

“Ling? You had a small orgasm. You smell so good.” She whispered.

 

“Shiko!” He said mortified.

 

Eyal was suddenly gone and her eyes were eerie to stare at and he was feeling like meat. She was on him and ripping at his clothes in a second.

 

“Shiko stop! Yoshiko!” He growled.

 

She got to his male parts and she groaned. She licked and tasted him and he shouted out. Things went from crazy to way bizarre when they ended up rolling off the bed and she had him buried in her within a moment. She was groaning and hissing under him and he was shocked.

 

“Shiko? Dearest you had a miscarriage! This is no good.” He snapped and then groaned.

 

“I know but I need you. I need you so much. What have they done to me? Oh Kamis Ling! Harder please. Need to feel all of you. Please. Please.” She whined and cried.

 

Ling felt like a bastard and she was coming fast and hard. His own breath left him when she sank her fangs in yet again. His own end was staggering. Their bodies were pressed together hard as they experienced raw bliss. He also realized he was utterly exhausted and his hands were shaking.

 

“Did you feed from my yoki?” He asked astonished.

 

“I do not know.” She stated suddenly terrified.

 

“What have we done?” He asked staring at her.

Cheung and Quon stood amongst the trashed forest area and the smell of Byakko was strong. Jortel came out of hiding and Quon knew the truth and nodded to the sky dragon.

 

“Some like you all took her. She fought them but there were too many, oui? I know not where to go and I refuse to leave. I cannot go to the castle but she is gone.” He said upset.

 

“Smells like Byakko alright. I smell Hu all over the place.” Cheung said stumped.

 

“Hu is your family name?” Jortel demanded.

 

“Yes. It is a huge clan. Our Ba is the current Byakko Lord but he had a ton of siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles. You get the idea. Because someone has the name of Hu does not make them directly in our immediate family. They could end our second or even fourth cousins.” Quon shrugged.

 

“They would probably take her to Hunan. If they found her here in Japan then they would take her away.” His brother suggested.

 

“You are right. Damnit! We do not need to go there!” The elder brother stated.

 

“Let me go.” Jortel said.

 

“We will need you to. Damn it all.” Cheung said in irritation.

 

The twins were beautiful by Byakko standards but they were also mouthy and hard to get along with. Male tigers did not appreciate those nu zi who thought for themselves or who showed they thought for themselves. It was well known tigresses were smart and capable but they did it in quiet and not around their mates. The Hu brothers had been odd in that they had chosen powerful nu zi and loved them for it.

 

The three ported and the two Byakko brothers hid and Jortel hid but listened carefully. The news at the Changsha court was of the warrior nu zi who had lost her tail in battle. It was rumored she was in Dong Jiang with Shirong Hu. They ported again after some time spent spying and they were in the country side of the beautiful area. Cheung blushed at his memories of this place and they walked on. Jortel was anxious and he was determined to find his mate.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////

Wenling woke up and she was in an opulent bed. She raised her head and her hair was down and she wore nothing but a quilt. The bastard general was at a desk and he was writing in Kanji and his own hair was down but he still wore formal clothes.

 

“You bastard!” She snarled.

 

“Pardon?” He asked turning.

 

“How dare you undress me!” Wenling hissed like wild woman.

 

“Our healer tells me you have had some terrible injuries. He stated your arm has been broken and you have healed stab wounds all over you. You have been trained as a warrior which is not common for a tigress.” He said pleasantly.

 

“Because I am not a full tigress. How dare you turn your arrogant, chauvinistic male tiger nose up at me you sorry son of a whore!” She said growling fiercely.

 

He was shocked at her language and her yoki was practically crackling at her fingers. He stood up and he neared the bed. His hand brushed her shoulder where she had a nasty scar and she went to strike. He caught her hand and the quilt fell. He was not the one who had undressed her and his eyes flicked down and his breath caught. She had stab wounds in her stomach and sides as well. She also had a beautiful body that was extremely feminine and he could not tell she was not a full tigress.

 

“You have more scars. Gods nu zi.” He stated as he cupped her breast.

 

Shirong was not doing it to be licentious but he saw a scar that was jagged across the beautiful flesh and she had a grayish stripe across her nipple.

 

“Unhand me you bastard.” Wenling said with death in her voice.

 

“Were you violated?” He asked horrified.

 

“Yes.” She snarled.

 

“Nu zi!” He said meeting her eyes.

 

“Do not dare feel sorry for me. I do not need some fucking tiger's pity. It is worthless. The only tigers I respect are my Ba, his brothers, and my own brother. Fuck you!” She said with hate.

 

“How can your opinion be so low of your own kind?” He asked softly

 

“When their opinion is low of me. Unhand me before you pull back a bloody stump buster.” She said growling.

 

Shirong stared at her face then at her scars again. It warred with his instincts but this female had seen much battle. His thumb brushed the striped nipple and she began a threatening growl. Her fierceness made him strangely attracted and he was curious. He kept flicking the nipple and she gasped as the tingling in her breast made her growl out rather loudly.

 

“Stop! I have babes that I feed.” She rasped.

 

“Warrior mother?” He said as he met her eyes.

 

Wenling saw something she had never seen in a male tiger and it startled her. She saw raw lust reflected and she blinked.

 

“Gods you are something I have never seen in a Byakko female.” He stated flatly.

 

“Let me go. I have no quarrel with you but I have things to do.” She said trying to stay clearheaded.

 

“I really cannot. I am sorry nu zi but I have orders and I have to follow them. Chung wants you and he appealed to Chen for you. My lord is most interested in meeting you.” Shirong stated dropping his hand.

 

“I would rather do the nasty here with you then that arrogant fuck have anything to do with me.” She snarled.

 

“That is a temptation nu zi.” He said bluntly.

 

Her jaw dropped and she tried to grab for the coverlet. Shirong could not let a little teasing nor a little flirting pass him by and he climbed on the bed. He caught her hands and he softly brushed her lips with his. She was sweet and by the Gods the nu zi was ripe. It was making him dizzy to contemplate it. Wenling was suddenly winded as this powerful male had her under him and the quilt was the only thing between them. His tongue sought hers and she actually groaned as the tiger male made her moan softly and she was horrified at herself when she purred. He clutched her thigh and she finally managed to shove him off. There was pounding on the door and he moved quickly. She covered up and she was growling. Her eyes widened and Wen was near. She stared up and she thanked the gods.

 

“There is a white dragon outside General Shirong.” Another soldier stated.

 

“Guard the nu zi.” He commanded.

 

He nodded curtly and the general left. Wen ported in not a moment later and she moved so fast that the tiger did not have a chance. He was laid out cold and she grabbed her twin.

 

“Oh thank Gods.” She said happily.

 

“Sorry took us so long! Ba and Uncle Che have to avoid peeps who know them. Jortel was in the forest and he waited on us to find him.” She said finding her a hanfu.

 

“Thank you!” She said slipping on the silk.

 

The twins slipped outside of the Dong Jiang palace and they looked around. They walked along and they both walked straight into a contingent of soldiers. Wen looked peeved and Wenling looked highly annoyed. Shirong stared at the identical nu zi and twins were just not that common in Byakko society. If it was not for one missing her tail; he almost could not tell them apart.

 

“You have a twin!” He stated stunned.

 

“Wen honey? I think the boys here need to know why tigers do not like us.” Wenling stated.

 

“Sure dear.” She said grabbing her twin's hand.

 

Their eyes bled silver and the clouds themselves began to gather. The Byakko looked up and the females were controlling the weather itself. Shirong had never seen females with this kind of power and sudden blinding blizzard blanketed the summer scape. When the snow cleared the girls were gone.

Yoshiko was sleeping beside Ling and he was exhausted. She was much better since the having the uppyr leader's blood but now she was starved. He had seen her hunt and she tore apart the deer. The intensity of her beast was frightening and she had actually hunted him. She had pinned him against a tree and proceeded to use him for all manner of gratification. His mate had been interested in love making but now she oozed it. It scared him to death and she woke up.

 

“Ling.” She whispered.

 

“Shiko, Beloved you are going to kill me.” He stated sitting up.

 

“You think I would hurt you?” Yoshiko asked in anger.

 

“I think you would not intend to but your appetites are massive. I cannot handle it. I am afraid.” He said cupping her cheeks.

 

“I am not a monster.” She said with wide eyes.

 

“I know that but Yoshiko you have always been inu dominant. You have been a fairly normal youkai.” He said biting his lip.

 

“What are you saying?” She demanded.

 

“I am thinking perhaps that you are like Asuna now. I am thinking that you are in fact a succubus.” Ling stated carefully.

 

“What now am I disgusting?” Yoshiko asked in anger.

 

“No! I am just saying that you are succubus. Nu zi I love you no matter what. Why are you crying?” He asked perplexed.

 

“You do not want me anymore.” She said beginning to sob.

 

“Yoshiko I did not say that!” He said perplexed.

 

“You come back to work it out and now that I am dirty. Screw you tiger!” She snarled getting up.

 

“What did I say?” He asked totally perplexed.

 

“Fine. You asshole.” She said jerking on her kimono.

 

Asuna knocked on their door and her sister's shrieking had woken her pups. She opened it and poor Ling was wilting on the bed and Yoshiko was sobbing. Her elder sister was assaulted with powerful scents and back stepped.

 

“Whoa!” She said staring at them both.

 

“What?” Yoshiko snarled.

 

“For one you are being loud and obnoxious. Two you are so pregnant that I am surprised you cannot smell it. Three shut up and sit down.” Asuna growled.

 

Yoshiko stared at her and she did as her sister told her. Asuna came over and scented her and she was hit by the powerful scents.

 

“Well Ling you wished to be a father. You will be a father. I will send her to Nobu in the morning. Now go to bed.” The inu princess snapped.

 

The younger Byakko prince was in shock but happy and he jumped out of bed. He knelt in front of Yoshiko and lifted her chin.

 

“Dearest did you hear her? No one was able to scent you before.” He said trying to contain his excitement.

 

“I cannot loose another. I will die. I want our baby. Ling! I want our baby!” She said breaking down.

 

He held her tightly and he prayed to the Gods that they just gave them one. He would be happy with just one. Ling held Yoshiko as she sobbed and they both were praying.

Nanami was up and walking around the Earth Tiger castle. The pain was there but not as severe. She had a feeling she would always have a little and she saw Riki. He was handsome and regal looking but she was not much in a mood. Ayana was being good and staying away from Chikara. She knew how hard that was for her elder sister as the tarantula lord was her great love.

 

“You look much better. How is your pain?” Riki asked.

 

“Still a little but I can handle it. Thank you all for your hospitality. Forgive Ayana for her brashness. She is much loved by her Chichi and spoiled rotten but she has a great heart.” Nanami stated with a wistful smile.

 

“She is offensive but I suppose I can overlook it if you ask.” He said looking her over.

 

“Watch it pretty boy. I have funnel in me.” She laughed softly.

 

“You are more then beautiful. I can tell you are more then kumo but you are utterly entrancing. I wish you well onna. I hope we meet again.” He said bowing.

 

She bowed a little in return and he walked on. Ayana came up and she had a wistful expression.

 

“What were you doing?” She whispered.

 

“I watched Chikara take a bath.” Ayana giggled.

 

“What did you do to him?” Nanami demanded.

 

“Made him come through telekinesis. I did not physically touch him! He will think it a fluke. Come on.” She said dragging Nanami.

 

They ported via her shoki and they were near the South. Nanami moved slowly and she walked towards the castle. She found Kenshin, Hakushin, and Ryunosuke near a statue and they were praying. She wanted to laugh but they took it so seriously. She waited and they finally got done. Hakushin stood up and he smiled at Nanami and actually winked at her. She gave him a brilliant smile and Kenshin stood up slowly. He saw her and he blushed a little.

 

“Hello healer.” Kenshin whispered.

 

“Hello houshi. How are you?” Nanami asked.

 

“I am well. Thank you for asking. How is your pain?” He asked.

 

“Better. My brother in law was able to help me and we removed more shoki from my back. I still have a little discomfort but it is so much better.” She replied.

 

“That is very gratifying to hear.” He said bowing.

 

“Kenshin, you feel things yet you make yourself shut them out, why?” She asked gently.

 

“Because I am a houshi. I am supposed to be pure.” He said looking past her.

 

“You know Prince Ryunosuke was also a houshi.” Nanami said.

 

“As he has said. He is in awe of Hakushin. My master chuckles and laughs. He tells him not to have such high standards of him. He told him he is just a man.” Kenshin murmured.

 

Nanami knew the truth and she stepped forward. This gentle young ningen made her weak in the knees and she pressed her lips to his cheek. She refused to defile him as Hibari had done to Ryunosuke. Her elder sister was gorgeous and damned wicked at times. He stood there and breathed in her scent.

 

“I prayed for your well being.” He stated.

 

“You did?” She asked staring at his eyes.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“What do you want most Kenshin?” Nanami demanded too gently.

 

“To know something of you.” He said breathing in hard.

 

Nanami was trying to rationalize in her brain what she was doing and then she realized that she was indeed fixing to violate a houshi. She wrapped her arms around him and she suddenly met his lips. He had kissed her and it was too much for him. Kenshin was moaning against her mouth as she kept up a slow, passionate exploration of his senses. He had to breathe and he finally ripped his lips away for a moment. Their foreheads were pressed together and his thumb was tracing her lips.

 

“Not right. I am doing wrong. So lovely. I want to touch you so much.” He said in agony.

 

“Why is this not right?” Nanami asked.

 

“Houshi. Supposed to be pure.” Kenshin said with trembling lips.

 

“Who says? Not Hakushin! He and my mother have known each other for years. When they are not helping one another; they are a tangle of limbs.” She admitted.

 

“Pardon me?” He asked shocked.

 

“He has lived a really long time has he not?” Nanami reasoned.

 

“Hai.” He said suddenly realizing.

 

“My mother mated him in his lifetime and extended his life to that of a youkai one. He is ningen but he is not mortal.” She said softly pressing her lips to his cheek.

 

“He has always said do not hold myself to ridiculous standards yet I have never seen him with an onna.” He stated looking at her.

 

“They like each other a lot.” She said undoing his knot.

 

His fair brown hair fell about his shoulders and she kissed him again. She hated houshi robes and her hands slid into them and began to undo them. Kenshin pulled back and stared at her face.

 

“Can you? You were in such pain.” He said suddenly.

 

“Hai. Kamis now I want to.” She said biting her lip.

 

He nodded and he redid his robes and he walked casually towards the castle. She stared after him and he looked back at her.

 

“I am aware of your rooms Lady Nanami. Should I perhaps lay healing hands on you?” Kenshin asked very seriously.

 

A smile graced her lips and she nodded. She walked towards the castle slowly and he knew he needed to give her some sort of massage at least. It was obvious to him she still suffered and she led him into her chambers. She barely slid the door shut when he began to nip her lips again. Kenshin wrapped his arms around her and his hands crushed her silver hair in his grasp. The slowly sank to their knees and he made himself pull away. His hands slowly undid the pale yellow hanfu; he slowly unlaced it and helped her remove the silks. His hazel eyes took in her body and he made himself breathe. He helped her lay down on the futon and she rolled to her stomach. He retrieved oils and slowly began to work the muscles in her back. Nanami was wracked in agony at first but his hands were like magic as he massaged out tension and made her feel loose. She was moaning as he worked and Kenshin felt his groin tighten at her sounds.

 

“I think you should rest. This scar is healed but it is fresh.” He stated being the houshi again.

 

“No.” She said rolling over.

 

“You have suffered greatly. I hope I was able to offer you some relief.” Kenshin stated gently.

 

“I am now feeling a dull ache somewhere else houshi. It can be just as irksome and uncomfortable for onna. We desire the physical as well.” Nanami said.

 

“Truly? How does it feel?” He asked innocently.

 

“How does the physical feel or how does desire feel?” She asked in return.

 

“Both I think.” He murmured staring at her body.

 

“The want is powerful. The body can actually ache. Right now I feel a small dull ache in me. I wish to feel whole.” She whispered.

 

“How?” He demanded.

 

“How does it feel?” She asked him and her eyes were wide.

 

“Hai.” Kenshin nodded as his finger tips began to run along her sternum.

 

“Kamis you want actual words. I wish to feel your hard member inside of me. I wish to feel my walls grip you as you move back and forth. The void is filled by your girth.” She shuddered under her own words.

 

His hazel eyes were filled with profound want and he took one nipple between thumb and forefinger. She groaned softly as he twisted and pulled it gently. His explorations were so innocent that it made her crazed.

 

“Damn it Kenshin! Just get naked!” She snarled suddenly.

 

“No. I do not think so. Not this time. I wish to only touch and explore you. I want to familiarize myself with your body if it is okay.” He said running another finger down her belly.

 

Her eyes were wide and the sensations were driving her out of her mind. Nanami did not think she could handle only exploration and the poor houshi was going to have a mindless; raging youkai onna who needed him. His finger continued to just run along her skin and it was making her jumpy and whine softly. Kenshin watched the talented healer become like one massive nerve. Memories of her first time with Tomoharu washed over her and she began to gasp hard. He was only touching her skin and she yelling out. He was shocked as she arched suddenly and whined out.

 

“Nanami?” He asked concerned.

 

“Small climax. Kamis I need you. Please!” She snarled out as her eyes were red.

 

He watched her sit up and she was on him. Nanami was trying not to attack him but she really needed him at this point. She undid his houshi robes and he was breathless as she kissed him passionately and without stopping. It was so consuming as she exposed him.

 

“Kenshin, you are so beautiful.” She growled.

 

She could not wait and he had been denying his own wants. He was stiff and she easily slid down his thick shaft. He choked against the side of her neck and he moaned as he felt what it was to be within an onna for the first time. Nanami was shaking but she moved against him. Kenshin was moaning non stop as he lowered her back and began to pull back and thrust into her deeply. She met his hips with hers and she groaned and grunted as he moaned. It was totally beautiful as they met. The young houshi was feeling the draw of a massive something and he was groaning hard as he began to thrust harder. Nanami moved her fingers between them and began to massage her pearl. Her scream rattled him but her vaginal walls clamped on his member deliciously and clawed herself in her climax. She hissed out and he felt heaven the rush left him and he lay against her as his orgasm left him speechless and breathless. Nanami screamed again as a wave of warmth and something awesome washed over her and she passed out. Kenshin was shocked and he shook her.

 

“Oh Kamis. Nanami. Onna please! Please wake up! What have I done?” He whispered feverishly trying to get her to wake up.

 

He could see her breathing but she was gone. He blushed and he scrambled for his clothes. The only persons he knew to ask were Hakushin and Ryunouske. He decided upon the dragon and he went in search of him. He found him with a babe and he watched him.

 

“Kenshin? What is wrong?” The dragon prince asked.

 

“I need help.” He said turning red.

 

“What is wrong? I will try.” Ryunosuke stated.

 

“Um. Lady Nanami…we have become close and she told me, she told me that it is possible to still be a houshi and have my powers. We joined and now she is not conscious.” Kenshin said utterly red and totally embarrassed.

 

“It is your purity my friend.” The dragon said with a small smile.

 

“It is?” He asked sheepishly.

 

“Hai. She will be okay. It overwhelms and with you being a pure houshi; I am sure the effect is more powerful.” He smiled.

 

“Why did you stop being a houshi?” Kenshin asked.

 

“My sect absolutely does not allow for mates. I also decided that my mate was worth it. I met her before she gave birth to our first child. I love her so much and she is my heart and my life.” He shrugged.

 

Kenshin was affected and he bowed low. He went back to Nanami and he would wait for her to wake up.

Asuna was happy for Yoshiko in a way and sorrowed it took waking up her uppyr half. She was very pregnant with Byakko. She was so pregnant that she had conceived twins. Ling was beside himself and demanded she go on bed rest. Her brother in law had also grilled her on her heritage and he was considering what she needed. Ling was pragmatic and smart too. She was hurting for Youshiro and had no clue what to do for him. He just spent time with her small pups and he was happy to play uncle. Akihiko's one appearance had intrigued her but she had no time to return his call and her time was spent feeding babes and plotting the massive attack on Mochrie. It was going to go badly for the wyvern and reds. It would take a little more planning and gathering forces but Hideaki was seeing to it. Sanra was on his list and Asuna watched him practice in the dojo everyday. He was also a grand Chichi. He loved Tsukiko and he could be found with her in the fields around the palace reading to her some old and ancient inu story. She had not a clue that she would find such an easy inu mate. She had to send Shan Lao and Yung into the stream to find Hanaj and Lei. She was worried but she concentrated now on tracking down Danika and ending that particular enemy. The pazuzu Zarek was still in a death sleep and he had truly under estimated Maec. The thought was frightening in of itself and she wondered what the arrogant, ancient blood drinker would say when he woke up. She imagined he would laugh it off as Maec having dumb luck. Her Byakko twins had been spotted by Chen's men and they were apparently wanted. She had told them to be careful. She sighed and things were peaceful only for the moment and she relished it for the time being. Her young pups were behaving but she knew that too was fleeting. Hinata was stubborn and he was itching to fight again. Asuna sat back and watched the comings and goings and knew that indeed the short peace was fleeting. She had more to prepare and she would fight tooth and nail for final peace.
